Google have discontinued it’s free version of Google Apps for Business and renamed it as Google Apps for Work in 2014 later it got renamed to G Suite in October 2016. The phase out of Google Apps have started in 2012 when Google restricted maximum number of users per domain to 10 and slowly removed that option as well over the period.

There are several resellers and web masters who are selling grand fathered domains publicly at 500 INR per user per year. Grand fathered domains are the domains that got Google Apps for Business approval at the initial launch at a range of 100 to 2000 users access. Taking this opportunity few partners and hosting companies of G Suite are trying to make some money by selling these account to innocent customers. Google recently detected this fraud and started deactivating those accounts that are not complying with G Suite terms and conditions.

After terminating these accounts there was an outrage among many customers and terminating leads to complete data loss, many hosting resellers and companies started migrating the data from free Google Apps or Free G Suite.

Google Apps or G Suite partners can offer free Google Apps for certain period and you can sign up here Also few resellers are offering 30 to 90 days trial based on the number of users, you either get a free trial or some discount of maximum 20% per user. You can also get 20% off G suite discount promo code from here.

Recently Google started showing only 14 day trial but if you are using grand fathered domain and trying to add additional secondary domain name then when you setup billing it is showing 30 day trial but capped to maximum of 50 users and it asks to contact support for more users.

If the account is more than 2000 users Google may offer a special discounted price for customers.

Cloud Hosting has revolutionized the whole Web Hosting Industries and thus unfolding the questions for hosting your applications or website makes a deeper sense to analyse the real facts. Paying attention to things to consider before making the decision for dedicated hosting or cloud hosting is of utmost important.

Cloud Servers

Cloud Servers are popular with small and mid-sized businesses that have variable workloads and demands. These are the great option for optimizing IT performance without the huge costs associated with purchasing and managing a fully dedicated servers.

Cloud servers can be configured to deliver the similar level of performance, security and control of a dedicated server but what makes them different with dedicated servers is “ virtualized” environment managed by your cloud hosting provider. Escalating economies of scale by sharing hardware with another customer by paying only the amount of server space on an hourly basis and enjoying the infinite flexibility makes them so popular among the SMBs.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers heed the attention of the large businesses that requires high security and thus they purchased and maintained their owned servers as dedicated servers.These organizations have predictable demands that necessitate their servers to operate 24/7- 365.

Cloud Servers vs. Dedicated Servers – your questions answered

With Cloud, servers resources can be accessed within a minute but it takes considerable time for about almost a week sometime in dedicated resources.

2. Can RAM, CPU and disk spaces be upgraded?
Yes this is feasible in both the cases but the major difference between the both is that with Cloud Servers it can be done with few click and sometimes with automation APIs whereas in Dedicated Servers it is a manual process that requires a scheduled maintenance window.

3. Auto- scaling, auto-provisioning and auto- management tools available?
Yes, Through community driven open Development API these tools are readily available while tools are available in the Dedicated environment but you have to wait for vendor-driven development.

4. Achieving high availability quickly and cost effectiveness:
YES for both the sides. It is readily achievable in Cloud Servers.Can achieve do so by configuring HA environment quickly with multiple cloud servers and a load balancer within minutes and can cost up to 60% less in comparison.While In dedicated servers request has to be made for HA Environment within an infrastructure using multiple dedicated servers with a multiple load balancer and takes almost few hours to days time.

5. Are they compatible enough with the technological trends?
Trends like BYOD, Gamification, Big Data analytics, DaaS are in the preliminary stage. If you want to upgrade to these in near future, then cloud servers fit in you.

6. Are Security and compliances needs to be addressed properly?
These needs can be served better with dedicated hardware. Complete compliance with Security and compliance regulations can be best served by Dedicated servers and makes your choice right to go with dedicated servers.

7. Manage on the go?
Android and IOS phones are compatible with the cloud servers. While in a case with a dedicated server, management is a manual process.

8. Can cloud resources and dedicated resources run in one environment?

If you are managing your server here is the 10 point server maintenance checklist that can help you do the task efficiently.

Your Server Maintenance Checklist

Backups: It’s a must to ensure that your backups and restores have been configured and confirm that they are confirmed to be working. Test on some data for your critical data to provide the recoveries is smooth to you. The backup location is the another major concern that requires your attention.

Security: We recommend that at least once in a month you should check your server security. Risk mitigation can be ensured by testing the OS updates, system configuration and any other potential hazard elements that may creep in and affects your systems. Several tools like Third party server security auditing can be fruitful like CSF(ConfigServer Security & Firewall), CXS(ConfigServer eXploit Scanner ). Change your passwords at a regular interval of 4-6 months is also a good practice.

Server Utilization: You need to check the RAM, network usages along with the hard disk and CPU efficiently. Test the limits allotted to you by your hosting provider so analyze whether you require server upgrades or the new service provider. Many third-party tools can help you monitor your server performance.

Operating System: You need to keep a check on whether the new updates have are installed or not. Updates for Linux systems are released very frequently. An automated patch management tool can help you manage these update with an alert when a system is out of date. Systems are prone to hackers where the if you skip, and security update so make sure either to automate the updates or if you are doing it manually maintain a schedule.

Control Panel: Control panel updates need to be at the regular intervals. Not only updating the control panel but upgrading the software that controls panel use is also important. For example. Only updating the control panel does not also update the basic Apache and PHP versions used by your OS.

Hardware Errors: Overheating notices, network failure, disk read errors can be the indicators of serving the potential hardware failure. Asking your hosting provider the audits of the equipment can help you have a look at the operating conditions of the server device. You can even plan your datacenter visit, if possible, to understand the operating conditions and working, if it’s critical for you.

Check Disk Usage: Data is crucial for every business units. If your disk usage is exceeding 90% of disk capacity that alerts you either to scrape out old logs, emails and software versions. As the capacity reaches 100%, your server may stop responding; database tables can corrupt, and you will lose data.

Check application updates: Web applications account for more than 95% of all security breaches we investigate. Be sure to update your web applications, especially popular programs like WordPress.

Monitor RAID controllers: Monitoring RAID controllers status is an important task for the server checklist. Roughly RAID fails in about 1% of servers per year though it seems so small still this chance can turn to server disaster.

Miscellaneous: Checking remote management tools are important if your server is co-located, reviewing multiple accounts, logs, scans, testing server reliability are few other tasks that can be accompanied with the above checkpoints.

We recommend to follow the preventive server maintenance regime and to reduce the risk of making your server invulnerable. It’s better late than never; your business relies on your server, or if you are leveraging the services of the hosting provider, these are the must checkpoints you need to gauge on for outperforming your business operations. We recommend to automate your server maintenance and if not possible, maintain a schedule for manual server maintenance.

Here at IBEE Hosting, we manage the server maintenance schedule on Daily, Weekly, Monthly basis along with frequent audits to make sure to deliver uninterrupted services to our clients. We value their businesses dependability on us and to make them function and flourish. Our team focuses on proactively fixing the issues rather than worrying about maintenance.

The bottleneck for the request and the response cycle delay are:

When a user makes a request, it is processed by the origin server, and the response travels all the way back to the user, may be over the long distance. It takes time for the user to receive the response.

The slow response to the request made can be due to network congestion or due to the heavy load on the web server. The perception of the user is the poor website performance as the request, and the response cycle takes long to process.

The internet connectivity can be a major curse for this delay.

Content Delivery Network(CDN) service presents and the ideal solution to improve the speedy delivery of the content to users for ensuring efficient website performance. A content delivery network (CDN) is an interconnected system of cache servers that use geographical proximity as criteria for delivering Web content. The origin server replicates the content from the multiple cache server to help fetch the requested content and significantly reducing the page-load time. For instance, the delay in web page response for an e-commerce website is not acceptable.

“Customer is gained or lost in one second” notion explains a one second delay can result in 16% decrease in customer satisfaction( Report on web Application) and further a delay of a second can impact overall corporate revenue up to 9%. This figure shows the intricacies involved in the website performance that can impact the heavily and arise the need to optimise the website performance.

CDN can pose an essentially workable strategy for the enterprises interested in serving the global customer base. These services are available from data centers or implemented within the company’s network. CDNs push the Edge Network closer to end users. The Edge Network grows outward from the origin server by the addition of co-location facilities, bandwidth, and servers. CDNs choose the best location for serving content while optimising for performance. They may choose locations that are the fewest hops or fewest number of network seconds away from the requesting client. CDNs choose the least expensive locations while optimising for cost.

Benefits of adopting CDN Service in the existing web-based applications and infrastructure.

Have you ever encountered the peaks of unexplained access by examining data from Google Analytics for your website? Or have any significant increase in access to the site requires your attention with worsening performance? These sprouting number of spams in Google Analytics are rendering the reports useless for further analysis. An alarming trend of referral spam creeping in Google Analytics makes you more vigilant over the issue and how to fix it for better data insights. Due to flooding Referral Spams from social buttons and many other sources people are now combating the issue by applying filters to manage the useless data they are receiving.

Types of Referral Spam
With Due regards to Google Analytics, there are two flavors of Spam: Spammy Web Crawlers and Ghost referral traffic.Ghost referral traffic being the majority of the spam with so-called ghost nature never access your website. It might seem wonder to you but since they never access your website, they do hamper the Google analytics that monitors your website traffic.The rocket science behind this is that they uses the measurement protocol, which allows the user to send data directly to Google Analytics. By using this, generally spammer generates a random code and leaves a “Fake VISIT” without even knowing who they are hitting.Crawlers in contrast to ghost referral traffic they do access your website and has a prominent presence in the Google search pages. These spams crawl your pages by ignoring the rules like robots.txt that are supposed to stop spiders from crawling specified pages. When they visit your website, they do leave imprints of the legitimate visit thus polluting your reports. Check in the list that might help you identify spams of either nature.How to detect referral spam?
The easiest way to detect referral spam in Google Analytics is identifying the unusual and suspicious referrals that don’t have any real reference to your website.
You want to refrain them visiting your site to be sure you can use the data they leave in your reports.

Checking Referral hostname

This method is the most reliable method to detect Ghost Referrer Spam, it contains a field either as (not set) or as a fake hostname.To discover the hostname they are using follows the quick steps:
-In the Google Analytics admin window navigates to Reporting Tab.
-Select Acquisition.
-Select All channels by expanding all Traffic.
-Click on Secondary Dimension type Hostname and select.

The Ghost Referrer Spam have an invalid hostnames since they are untargeted whereas the Crawlers Referrer spam, on the other hand, holds a valid hostname.Alternatives to detect Referral Spam
*Audit the Landing Page
The other way to notice Referrer Spam is by checking the page they are targeting. The targeted page could be either the Home Page (identified by a slash) or a fake page that doesn’t hold any relevance to your website.* Checking Metric Number
– Spam either accounts for a high or low numbers.
– Navigate to reporting section in your Google Analytics account.
– In the Lateral Bar Select acquisition tab.
– Select Referrals by expanding traffic.
– A table like below will turn up.
Check with referrals that have numbers like 0% or 100% in new sessions or bounce rate, or average session duration of 0 or 1 Second.
Ghost spam is easier to detect as they use the fake data whereas the crawlers are little cumbersome to analyse. If you still hold the confusion to analyse the referral spam you can access the updated list for the prominent suspected spams.Stop Referral Spam in Google Analytics

Valid Hostname filter is one in a way most efficient filter than the rest of the options available. I haven’t encountered any spam since applying this filter months ago thereby strongly recommend this for use. There are huge advantages of this method over the other.
1. You can stop the spam before it hits you. (Proactive approach)
2. You require only one filter to stop the spam, instead of creating several subsets of filters for the spam as in other options.
3. This Valid Hostname filter will stop ALL the ghost spam in any form whether it shows as a referral, keyword or direct visit.

How Filter Works?
The Most important part of the solution is to work upon the valid hostnames to not exclude any licit traffic.Note: As a best practice you should always have a view without filter no matter what are the filters for, so if you don’t have one I recommend you to create one.Creating new filter
Prerequisite is to have a list of your hostnames.
– Visit the Reporting tab in Google Analytics account.
– Within the Lateral tab select the Audience.
– Expand technology and Select Network.
– At the top of the report be sure to select the Hostname because the default you service provider is selected. – When you land in there, you will see a table like this and among these find and copy all the Valid Hostname.
-After gathering the valid hostname, you must create an expression that matches all of them.yourdomain\.com|otherdomain\.com|translateservice\.com|yourshoppingcart\.com|otherservice\.net

The complexity of expression can range depending on the age and size of the website. If you have subdomains you can omit adding all of them if you are adding yourdomain.com; it will match any subdomain of yours like blog.subdomain.com or support.subdomain.com.
After generating the regular expression, you should add it to an INCLUDE Hostname filter.
– Now in the Admin tab select View where you want to apply the filter.
– Select FiltersNote: If you haven’t created an “Unfiltered” View, create one now it will help you to check later if this or any other filter is working correctly
– Select New Filter
– Select Create New Filter and enter the valid hostname filter as a name.
– Within the Filter type choose custom.
– Be cautious you choose include and select Hostname from the dropdown.
– Finally paste the expressions that you built with the valid hostname in Filter Pattern.
I strongly recommend verifying the filter before application to save time on testings and protecting your data.
Its better to verify data before saving. A table will appear showing you sample data of before and after application of data.
Confirming the data validity, you can proceed to save the filter.

After soliciting the invalid data, you can save the filter. The filter you created doesn’t require much maintenance. It is very important that every time you add a Hostname or include your tracking-ID in any service, you need to include it at the end of the regular expression.

Either it is a webmaster, marketing manager, blogger or a site owner who are investing valuable time and resources cannot afford disrupted statistics altered by spam. Monitoring and continuously optimizing the marketing actions are the main building block of each online strategy; thus the analysis must rely on accurate and reliable data.
Henceforth there is an immense need for the spam free google analytics report.
